Texas HB2561 amends the Water Code to establish rules for designating meeting places for municipal utility district boards.

Texas HB2561 amends the Water Code to mandate that the board of a municipal utility district designate one or more meeting places within the district. The board may choose a private residence or office as a meeting place if it declares the location to be a public place and invites the public to attend. If no suitable meeting place exists within the district, the board may designate a place outside the district, provided it does not deprive residents of a reasonable opportunity to attend. The board must justify and notify the public of any meeting place outside the district.
